I'm in the Teyvat running group

Meanwhile, on the other side of Teyvat, Yunxiu had already completed all the preparations and was staring intently at the Fools' camp on the other side of the border. In the very center of the camp, an old man wearing a mask stood at the entrance, about to take that step.

Iver Tilvett, the chief commander of the Fools, vice dean of the Canria Deep Academy, and a scholar who participated in the capture of the Gemini spaceship.

Of course, he also has a more well-known name in Teyvat.

clown!

Chapter 399 Who Can Block My Three Thousand Swords?

The clown is currently standing on a land that is still in Winter Solstice, which is also the border between Winter Solstice and Fontainebleau, and he is clearly well prepared.

Yunxiu could immediately tell that the light reflected behind her was a protective force field, which clearly borrowed some of the runes from her own spells. This was just one of the downsides of the Spirit Realm: friends could use it, and enemies could use it too. The spells Yunxiu cast could be purchased directly with money, although most of them had been simplified to some extent.

However, the clown is a court mage of Kanria, and although his magical development ability is certainly lower than Yunxiu's, it cannot be much lower.

Yunxiu even saw the aura of [Arcane Protection] on him, and not just one layer. Yunxiu's own intelligence modifier is currently 38 points, and his level is 24, so the base of Arcane Protection has reached 86 points. Due to the increase in strength, the modifier has slightly increased to 6860, which is a shield of 589960. The progress of the law has increased his additional protective spell strength modifier by an additional 420%, which means that the single layer of Arcane Protection is now 3067792.

The 38 layers of shields brought his shield value to 116.5 million, and with his own health of over 10 million, the total value was close to 130 million.

The clown wouldn't be much lower than himself, after all, he had chosen "protection" as his law, and his defensive spells had an extra bonus. But he didn't know the clown's law either. According to the information given by Skok and the related circumstances, the clown's law was likely the so-called "mystery" of studying the essence of spells.

This won't significantly increase his strength, but it will greatly enhance the diversity of the Clown's spells, possibly even more than Yunxiu's.

“According to our plan from a few days ago, Kong has already contacted me. He will appear here tonight, and the Clown will definitely show up. Ying, at this time, you will have to confront your brother…” Yunxiu looked at Ying and took out a letter. This was a message sent by Kong through an apostle of the Abyss Order. Only in this way could it be relatively safe. He gently handed the letter to Ying and said, “Remember, this is just a ‘chance encounter.’ Although the Four Great Rulers will most likely notice, we still need to make it look plausible on the surface. After the battle, we will use some means to forcibly seal off the space so that you and your brother can have a brief reunion.”

“I know…” Ying nodded. Although she knew how difficult it was for her brother and herself to reunite, she was also very clear about the priorities at hand.

Yunxiu, of course, also knew that Ying was a very reliable person.

"Ding! You have activated the Unrestricted Codex. All your dice rolls will now be 20!"

"Ding! Due to the effect of the Prayer spell, all your proficiency points are calculated at double the normal value! Your DC for this slide check is 20+38+24+24. Your opponent saved with AC 88. You have passed the slide check!"

Finally, Ivor Tilvett's panel arrived in front of Yunxiu.

Perhaps because of the power that concealed it, Yunxiu still couldn't see the attributes in many places, but she could see most of the information clearly.

His level is 28, and his world correction coefficient has reached 4650 due to his own expertise and spells. He is a legendary peak archmage of the Necromancer school. The most terrifying thing is his intelligence, which is as high as 76 points. His correction value has reached the level of 33, which is only slightly lower than Yunxiu.

He has mastered even more legendary spells than Yunxiu, possessing a total of seventeen legendary spells, and indeed has Arcane Protection. However, unlike Yunxiu's own "Protection" law, his shield strength is based on his own feats and artifacts, which provide additional modifiers. Although the shield strength is based on Charisma and the base shield strength is only 70 points, the artifact itself and the necromancy feat's additional 500% bonus cause his single-layer shield strength to soar to around 195 million.

He also has a feat called "Infinite Stacking," which grants all stacking spells an additional ten stacks, bringing his Arcane Protection to 43 stacks and his total shield to 8400 million.

The most terrifying spell is probably [Kingdom of the Dead], which transforms a 10-kilometer radius into a Kingdom of the Dead. All non-undead creatures suffer 10D20+300 Abyss damage per second, while all undead creatures gain a 300% damage bonus and legendary resistance. The clown is considered [Grim Reaper] within this kingdom. All spells automatically level up two ranks, and spells have an instant-death effect. Everyone must undergo a constitution assessment with a DC of 35 or higher; if the save fails, there is a 25% chance of instant death.

Although it only lasts for ten minutes, it is already a terrifying spell. Yunxiu herself can handle it, but she doesn't know how the others will fare. Ying should be fine, though.

In addition, based on his own spells and some spells released by Yunxiu, he developed a series of spells such as [Rainbow Light Magic Wall - Eternal Corridor], [Invincible Spell - Concept Immunity], [Infinite Proliferation], and [Great Disintegration Spell]. Even the relatively simple [Great Disintegration Spell] has a base damage of more than 40D8 Abyss damage + 60D4 Elemental damage, and an additional 30% chance of instant death, which doubles if the opponent is a non-legendary creature.

And perhaps because of the last mage in Kanria, the clown is also quite a character.

[Echoes of Ilmin], [Shroud of Eternal Darkness], [Death Whisperer's Orb], [Time Paradox Pocket Watch] – a total of four artifacts.

These artifacts, while pushing his attributes to such terrifying levels, also granted him a multitude of specializations.

Among them, "Echoes of Ilmin" has almost reached the point of being armed.

In particular, the additional feat of [Heart of the Black King] allows you to designate a spell of no more than 13 rings once a day, doubling its effect, range, and duration for any spell cast within that day, without consuming elemental energy.

This means he can unleash [Kingdom of the Dead] twice in an instant.

As for the Shroud of the Dead, it can grant immunity to any damage below 100,000 points, and 90% physical immunity and 80% elemental immunity above 100,000 points. It is only slightly less effective against force field damage, granting immunity to only 40%. In terms of pure effect, it is not as good as the Sam Armor of the Firefly, but it has an additional resurrection effect. It can devour souls to restore health, and can even consume its own artifact spirit to revive itself.

The Deathspeaker's Orb is a cursed item that can even imprison a soul within it, consuming the prisoner's soul power to cast spells. It can replace some legendary materials and can also grant the prisoner's feats.

As for the pocket watch, it is a time-keeping device that can store a certain amount of time, locking its own time at a certain point, somewhat like "rollback". Of course, the storage time and number of times are limited, up to seven times in 24 hours.

If the existence of these things already makes the clown extremely difficult to kill, even to the point that gods find it troublesome, then his specialty makes him even more difficult to kill. His elemental energy limit is even similar to Yunxiu's, reaching about 11 billion, and he can recover full energy five times a day, while Yunxiu can only recover it three times.

He also learned the automatic spell countermeasure technique. Although he didn't grasp the essence of Yunxiu's technique, he could still counter spells below the tenth ring, probably because he didn't have the ability to upgrade the ring of that spell.

While Teyvat's spatial magic is underdeveloped and the Jester lacks teleportation abilities, he possesses spatial anchoring spells. All teleportation, blink, and projection spells require an Intelligence check of DC 40; failure results in being immobilized in place.

To be honest, with this ability, it's safe to say that even if Yunxiu and the others attacked together, it would be difficult for any one of them, or even two of them together, to kill the Clown. Even if all five of them attacked together, the Clown would still have a chance to escape. It's no wonder that he's been able to survive in Teyvat for nearly a thousand years. Yunxiu can't even imagine how powerful the Sage really is...

Of course, the people Yunxiu brought along were not weak either.

Skok's strength modifier reached 31 points, and she also possessed four divine artifacts. The sword in her hand had the specialties of [Conceptual Slash] and [All Laws Shattered], which could even sever the causal relationship between you and your own clones and resurrection points. Theoretically, all conceptual products could be cut off with one strike. Yunxiu had sparred with her, and Skok was able to directly bypass Yunxiu's shield and strike his body almost half the time.

Fortunately, Yunxiu herself had some kind of defensive ability, otherwise she might have been killed by Sike in one strike.

The talent 【Multi-Attack - Ten Thousand Swords】 allows Skok to unleash 120 sword strikes in an instant. Although each strike only deals 25% damage, 【Multi-Attack - Ten Thousand Swords】 can be activated every three attacks. A single strike can shatter 70% of Yunxiu's shield, and most legendary peak monsters cannot withstand more than a few strikes.

Her abilities [Slice Space] and [Legendary Parry] allow her to easily slash at monsters and enemies in space, and naturally, she can easily break through any teleportation escape. Parrying can easily block any attack, even curses, and a successful parry will restore 10% of her health.

Combined with her talents of [Battle Continuation] and [Infinite Stamina], she is definitely a top-tier expert among the legendary peaks. Yunxiu's judgment is that she is absolutely no worse than the average Seven Rulers, because this level is only slightly weaker than Mavika before she severed her three corpses and did not use the Holy Flame.

Although he has not yet ascended to godhood, he can almost be regarded as a deity.

Since Xiaoyue and Navelette's strength doesn't lie in direct attacks, Skok and Ying are the main attackers in this fight against the clown, and Yunxiu will be their support.

The main role of the Moon-Cut Yang True Lord is to use spatial magic to seal off the battlefield and to control the clown's behavior at all times. As a great mage of the spellcasting system, the Moon-Cut Yang True Lord's output ability is actually average. However, as an immortal who has existed for thousands of years, his foundation is exceptionally deep, possessing a total of six divine artifacts!

If you add the few items he gave to his apprentice, it's almost certain that this old deer had more than ten divine artifacts at its peak. Yunxiu was so envious she cried.

Although he didn't master Arcane Protection, Xiaoyue had a ring that could copy any spell and feat. He copied Yunxiu's Arcane Protection, and because his feat was powerful enough, his shield was even thicker than Yunxiu's, and it also had the additional property of reflecting 30% of the damage, which left Yunxiu speechless.

However, Xiaoyue taught this spell to Yunxiu, so Yunxiu's Arcane Defense now incorporates automatic spell counterattack. Although it can counterattack damage like Xiaoyue, it has the added characteristic of absorption.

With his series of immortal techniques such as [Great Sealing Technique], [Space Folding], [Dimensional Imprisonment], and [Group Teleportation], Xiaoyue is a reassuring force in war.

The value of Navelette's existence lies in using the power of life to resist the power of death.

Chapter 400 Siblings Unite to Fight the Demon

Navelette's attributes were not particularly outstanding; among the seven dragon kings, he was considered rather average. This was something Yunxiu and Ruotuo Dragon King learned after talking with Kukulkan.

Although in the original timeline, it seems that the Prince's strength was impressive, it should be noted that in that timeline, the Prince, based on his current strength, was at most a Legendary. Even without a divine position, Vilet's power had reached the peak of the Legendary level at the Seventh Ruler level, and the Complete Dragon after being unsealed would be even more powerful.

This is essentially a crushing defeat of strength. In fact, Vilet is now finding it difficult to even deal with Yunxiu, because he really can't break through Yunxiu's defense.

Even if you could break through the Moon-Slicing Sword, it wouldn't actually be able to. However, the Moon-Slicing Sword itself isn't good at attacking. Strong individuals like Fushe and Skoke, who are born for battle, can break through Yunxiu's defenses. But Yunxiu's other defensive methods are not so easy to break through, unless someone is strong enough to be like an Emperor, able to lock space, time, and cause and effect, and then directly sever the main body with a single strike. But it's puzzling that there are no beings at the Legendary level who can reach that level.

Moreover, there are very few divine artifacts, only two. Vilet's strength lies in his powerful authority, which can create a vortex of life on the battlefield. This is different from the Tree King's life force field. It is a brand new life force field with excellent effects, and it is further enhanced by his divine artifact, the Staff of Forgiveness.

Navelette's [Primal Torrent] ability can cover a range of 20 kilometers for 20 minutes, and judging from its attributes, it is almost a continuous cast of legendary healing and regeneration spells on everyone on the field, which completely negates the clown's key spells, and also has the negative effect of reducing movement speed by 90%.

The only downside is that it permanently alters the terrain; after the battle, this place will turn into a swamp. But that's not a big deal; it can be repaired. Its combat power is genuine.

The Staff of Forgiveness can enhance this spell, increasing all attributes by 50% and allowing it to additionally strike enemies, dealing 20D20 extra water elemental damage. Enemies will also lose 1.5% of their health per second, with undead losing double that amount. This skill can practically turn the surrounding area into holy land, and it's something that most mages don't possess.

Navelette doesn't possess Arcane Protection, unlike the Jester who can develop it. However, he has the feats of Avatar of Water and Dragonscale Protection. The former grants him immunity to all physical damage, increases his resistance to elemental damage by 500%, increases his movement speed in water by 1000%, and restores 5% of his maximum health per second. The latter allows him to absorb damage, storing 80% of the damage from each attack, with a maximum storage capacity of 1200% of his maximum health, and automatically refreshing every 10 seconds.

So how many health points does Vilette have?

Yunxiu has around 1100 million HP, the Clown has about 900 million, Sike has a little more, around 1600 million, while Navelette has a whopping 5800 million!

Furthermore, it possesses the [Dragon King's True Form] special ability, which lasts for ten minutes and allows the user to manifest the true form of the Water Dragon King. This grants an additional 20 points to all attributes, doubles health, increases spell range tenfold, and boosts damage by 200%. Although it can only be used once in an emergency and almost always attracts divine attention, it is still quite reliable in crucial moments.

However, this is definitely the final trump card, reserved for later situations.

As for Luminous's strength, she is slightly stronger than Skullcrusher. The power of the Seven Element Travelers is not much different from that of the Seven Rulers. Coupled with her high enough rank, it can be said that Luminous is the most crucial factor in determining the outcome of the battle.

What Yunxiu and the others need to be most careful about is the "prophet" and the "sage" who will almost certainly appear in this battle. Killing the clown is indeed important, but it is definitely not the most important thing.

The group discussed the current situation again and finalized their kill plan. After Kong made his move, Ying would definitely be the first to strike, followed by Xiaoyue to solidify the space, Nawilet to create a giant wave, Yunxiu to buff everyone, and finally Skok and Ying to deliver their slashes, aiming to kill the clown once first, and then decide on the next move based on the situation.

“It’s here…” A gate to the abyss appeared on this side of Mount Mansos Fontaine, and Kong walked out from it. He waved his hand gently, and a sword appeared in his hand.

After sensing the surrounding space, Kong sighed softly. Just as he was about to continue forward, he heard a voice that haunted his dreams coming from behind him:

"Brother...is that you?"

Before he even turned around, he knew who it was just by the voice. Although he had made plans in advance and knew that Ying would come, the voice at this moment still made his heart surge. It took him several tens of seconds to suppress the fluctuations of his emotions. He turned around with difficulty and looked at Ying gently: "It's me, Ying. Why did you come here?"

“I’ve learned of the ‘Prophet’s’ plan, and I knew you would come here.” Whether it was acting or a genuine outpouring of emotion, Ying’s eyes were already brimming with tears. “I know about Tyrell’s situation, brother. Please don’t become the leader of the Abyss anymore. Come back and live with me. Yunxiu and Xiangling will welcome you.”

“Ying…I know, I want to live with you too.” Kong reluctantly sheathed his sword, his heart surging with emotion. “But not now, I have more important things to do…”

"What could be more important than me?"

Kong fell silent. Indeed, nothing was more important than Ying, but if this matter was not done, it was still a question whether Ying would survive in the future. Although Yunxiu existed now, she could at least protect Ying as she wandered in the universe in the future, but she and Ying had traveled together for thousands of years, crossing the sea of ​​stars and walking through countless planets. Even Yunxiu could not quickly bridge this gap.

Just as he hesitated, about to continue speaking, a figure quietly walked over.

"As expected of travelers who have traversed the sea of ​​stars, although I don't know if you're acting, I must say, you've moved me." A tall old man in a long robe and wearing a mask walked over. The bracelet on his wrist clearly imprisoned completely different souls, and there was an eerie spiritual light behind him. He looked at Kong and Ying and smiled, "Prince of the Abyss, Princess of the Sea of ​​Stars, I have been waiting for you two for a long time."

“Aver Tilvett… I really wish I had never met you, and that I knew your goal this time. Let Luminous leave, and let’s have a proper fight.” Kong drew two swords, the tips pointing directly at the clown’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and looked at the clown’s expression, saying, “I was fooled by you five hundred years ago. Do you think I’ll fall for it again five hundred years later?”

"Oh? You think you can still be my match now? Put down your weapon obediently. If I can get what I want from you, I'll let her go, of course." The clown chuckled playfully, pointing at Ying, who had already drawn her sword and was standing behind Kong. He added, "Besides, does your sister really want to leave? I think she might want to fight alongside you, don't you think?"

"Ying, hurry! Go find Yunxiu!" Kong shouted.

"Kingdom of the Dead!" A flash of light appeared on the clown's staff, freezing all space within a ten-kilometer radius. A vast undead kingdom rose up, trapping everyone within. Watching the shimmering light around Ying, with various auras and effects of resistance constantly emanating from her, he laughed gleefully, "This was prepared for you by your little boyfriend, wasn't it? A Starsea Descendant actually deigning to serve a Liyue mage, how amazing! Why not follow me? At least I'm much closer to godhood than your little boyfriend, aren't I?"

"You are also much closer to death than I am!" A clear laugh rang out across the entire battlefield. From a narrow, reinforced space, a dashing young man emerged, dressed in a robe embroidered with the colors of the sun, moon, and stars, with a book and a talisman floating behind him and a dragon-scale staff in his hand. He took seven steps through the air, chanted a few words, and in an instant, a powerful immortal spell descended!

"Absolute Defense, Immovable King!"

A 50-meter radius absolute defense circle appeared around Ying and Kong, locking in all attacks, including the undead and curses from the Kingdom of the Dead. This was a brand-new legendary concept-level defensive spell developed by Yunxiu based on the [Invincible Technique]. All external damage would be locked in, and any attack to the right would have to pass through a DC40 spatial spell check, otherwise it would all fail to hit!

The effect of a hit will also be reduced by 90%, which is the true path he comprehended from the Emperor's teachings.

"Hehe, he really is good enough to his little girlfriend." The clown shook his head, and with a light flash of the magic bead in his hand, seven figures appeared on the battlefield. These were legendary souls that the clown had collected by various means. He had also refined their bodies, so these dead souls almost all retained their strength from their previous lives.

"That's something I didn't expect, but it doesn't matter." Yunxiu shouted, "Attack!"

"Space folding, the ends of the earth are within reach, immortal magic seal, heaven and earth are locked!" A figure flashed out from Yunxiu. He had just shrunk himself into a spatial interlayer, but the entire Earth-Shaving Moon had made his spatial magic so strong that it was almost unbelievable. A large number of spatial ripples flowed from his body, and the seven figures instantly seemed to be thrown into a large number of discontinuous spaces, making it extremely difficult for them to move.

A strange, lock-shaped spell appeared on the clown's body, almost completely binding him within the seal.

The overwhelming pressure caused his expression to change, and even his voice was filled with doubt: "You are the successor of Liyue? But in my memory, you are not that powerful..."

Just as he was still wondering, a water kingdom descended in an instant, submerging the surrounding kingdom of the dead. A large amount of life-filled fetal water filled the surroundings, causing even the clown's expression to change drastically!

"Void Slash - Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!" A purple light ripped through the sky, and hundreds of sword blades instantly struck the clown's body. A series of arcane protective shields were pierced through at this moment, and the powerful force penetrated the clown's body, seemingly annihilating him in an instant!

However, the realm of the dead has not disappeared, and the shadow still lingers on the battlefield.

Chapter 401 The World of Immortal Arts Appears

Naturally, no one was going to let their guard down. Yunxiu had told everyone all the key details about the clown from the beginning, so they knew that the clown was extremely difficult to kill.
